Mission Statement and Settings

Welcome!

Essentially the CBA, and later this dynasty, grew out of my strong desire the last few months to create a fictional-historical league (fictional teams and players, but in a historical setting) complete with uniforms, logos, etc. for the different eras it would go through. As i went along I started to really enjoy some of the potential storylines OOTP had set up for me, so I figured why not write a dynasty? I looked up the worst team and decided to take them over to see if I can turn them around. I will be playing out every inning of every game in one-pitch mode, but I will not be posting box scores and the like for every game to keep the clutter down. My format for results and the like will mostly be based on Even the Braves.. an old classic dynasty from the Baseball Mogul forums.. so if you happen to be familiar with that dynasty then you should know what to expect. I can't promise the same quality, but I hope to create something enjoyable at least

I am god in this dynasty when it comes to running everything. That means when to expand and the like will be decided on my own timetable behind the scenes, but the dynasty itself will be written from the perspective of the GM/Team.

Currently the setup is the classic eight teams to a league with the champions of each league meeting in the championship series, but I haven't decided where I'm going to take it when the league expands further. We could end up with something that looks a lot like MLB, something that's superficially different, or we could end up with something that's considerably different.

Settings:
- Ratings/Potential: 2-8 scale
- Overall ratings: Stars
Scouting: Low
- Injuries: Low (will switch to Normal at an undecided point in the future)
- Three Levels of Minors for now (AAA-AA-A)
- Trading - Hard/Neutral
- The Reserve Clause is on for now
- The Draft is currently on, but at the moment teams pick in order of finish to discourage parity
- Stats are set to 1946 settings with some slight personal tweaks to the modifiers. I am undecided on how long I'm going keep following along with the historical league totals, but for now that's what we'll do.

Authors Note/Disclaimer: Some language used by characters and or the narrator in the course of this dynasty may come off as slightly outdated or even offensive to modern sensibilities. I am using such language only to illustrate the reality of the time and world in which this universe takes place rather than gloss over it, which I feel would be wrong in a dynasty that is attempting to have some living, breathing characters. If you would like to discuss the use of such language or are offended in any way you can PM me and I'm happy to discuss it with you. Be assured that the ideas some characters or even the narrator may express are not my own, I merely see them as potentially realistic views for a person to hold given the time and place, though I make no claim to always being right about that in any given situation.
